The reason there is so many dogs and cats is because people never get their pets fixed. With tears, my kids and wife said goodbye and I brought him to a no-kill shelter.

It all depends on the situation. thats rather harsh. I know one shelter that wont adopt to people under 25, i think on the premise that they might be making a rush decision and not thinking about whether they want to travel, have babies or if they will have to move repeatedly (excessive house prices where I live). only one chance at a lifetime with the pet!
